Affirmative Action in the Workplace
Hours: 0.50
Anti-discrimination laws ensure that potential and existing employees are treated fairly and with dignity and respect. These laws also help maintain a workplace where all employees can work, remain productive, advance, and develop to their fullest potential. Still, discriminative practices of the past continue in subtle ways and have created a workforce that is not as diverse as it should be. Affirmative action refers to a set of practices designed to correct the trends created by past discrimination. It is important for you to understand what affirmative action is and how it may apply to you and your organization. This course has been prepared with these objectives in mind.
